What I saw at the DNC: A pearl-clutching cult of personality
NY Post ^ | 8/25/24 | Camilla Long

Posted on 08/25/2024 5:04:04 PM PDT by Libloather

I am standing on the floor of an arena in Chicago, waiting for Kamala Harris.

It’s been nearly three hours. There are thousands of us squished together, toppling over, jostling, hot, uncomfortable, straining under the lights. Everywhere I look, there are people holding tall “Kamala” signs, shouting, screaming, panting, roaring. Music is pounding.

It was like this last night, and the night before, and the night before that: a 96-hour psycho war dance.

To get an idea of what has been achieved at this year’s Democratic National Convention — how a party purges itself of one candidate and installs another in the blink of an eye — you need only look across the hall. It is as if a $200 million tornado has blown in, showering 5,000 delegates with new catchphrases, merch, watchwords, ideas, emotions — hope, joy — overnight, while everything else has been clinically erased from memory.

Joe Biden, Jill, Hunter, their deranged Secret Service-biting dog, Commander — all long in witness protection. Mention Biden’s name and they’ll barely respond. And he actually appeared at the convention.

It is as ruthless as it is awesome.

I ask delegates from California, Georgia and Minnesota if they think Harris can now pull it off. It’s her most important speech; the most significant convention in 40 years. All of them scream, “YAAASSS.” She’s brilliant, “amazing,” “Mizz Kamala.”

As for the look — well, it’s convention loopy. Everyone around me is wearing Kamala outfits: pearls, skinny jeans and Converse. Even the men. It’s quite strange to talk to a 6-foot retired web designer called Chuck from Minnesota in pearls, or to a see a male delegate from California sporting a straight-up Queen Mother-grade choker and Kamala make-up.

God does throw pearls at swine. He blesses bad people like drug dealers, abortionists, child killibg parents....and will ask them what beauty they did with it in honor of Him.

Why we do the same, don’t understand. We ought only pray and fast.

Profanity is words moron. Words you don’t like. Maybe you should complain and have me censored.

Try to be happy. You'll feel better, I promise!

(And fix your name ... it's hypocrisy, not hypocracy).

I am happy. It’s the miserable jerks like you who come on here and say Trump supporters are a cult and anytime anybody points out the scumbaggery of the dems are so quick to say “republicans do it too” that are rotten.

Hypocracy as in our form of government is hypocracy. But that’s too deep a concept for you, Simple Jack. Now go back to shilling for the dems with your “be happy” commie garbage. Like the dems pushing joy. You are a creepy, self loathing piece of work.

Of course you are. It's fairly obvious.

Hypocracy as in our form of government is hypocracy. But that’s too deep a concept for you, Simple Jack.

As I said before, hypocracy is not a word. Hypocrisy is. This is a forum for the educated so please learn to spell. Jim Rob and all of us as well thank you.

Now go back to shilling for the dems with your “be happy” commie garbage. Like the dems pushing joy. You are a creepy, self loathing piece of work.

So very, very happy you are. LOL
